Ladder League Explanation

A ladder league in pickleball is generally played as an individual, as opposed to a fixed pair. This makes for much more flexibility, so people can play even when their favorite partner is busy. 

The goal of a ladder is to provide every player with competitive games. Because the advanced players move up the ladder and lesser skilled players move down, players will be placed into a group of similarly skilled players. This way everyone has more fun. You're neither getting destroyed by better players, nor getting bored playing more novice players.

How Does it work?

• Players are assigned to courts in groups of 4-5 players. 

• Each group will play a round robin, rotating partners each game. So everyone plays WITH each other player once, and AGAINST each other player twice. 

• After the round is complete, the top 2 players move UP the ladder a step, and the bottom 2 players move DOWN a step.

We typically run two rounds, so you’d play a total of 6-8 games in about 2-2.5 hours.
